I don't think I've ever used a genuinely bad d-pad other than the Xbox 360, but maybe I'm just easy to please

If you can't input both left and right at the same time then it is a bad d-pad.

Okay I ordered the $92 controller so I can get that good D

The Pro Controller's D-Pad is well known as being absolute dogshit, what's appalling is that they never bothered trying to fix it beyond very tiny mitigations in some of the later released special versions. It's incredibly imprecise, so you wind up making mixed inputs often (unintentional diagonals and outright wrong inputs everywhere) which matters in virtually every scenario in which you'd need a D-Pad. Puzzle games, sidescrollers, etc are all better on the fucking button D-Pad the Joycons offer which is disastrous.

I can vouch for the Pro Controller D-Pad being just horrible. The worst part is, at least on the one I had, it doesn't even feel physically good either - it's stiff and mushy at the same time.

It's bad in a very interesting and different way from the also dogshit 360 one.

It's funny cause I normally use the d-pad for anything 2D and all menus, and I never thought it was great but never was too frustrated by it. It's like a bigger Gameboy one, which I'd also classify as unremarkable but serviceable

It's usually serviceable for menus and 2D Marios, but it has a nasty little tendency to read false inputs which can be disastrous for fighting game players and the like. It's pretty easy to get an upward or downward press when pressing left or right with just a slight shift of your thumb. I first noticed it was a little squirrely in Breath of the Wild when I kept accidentally bringing up the wrong equipment menu.

Minus World is the only fighting game I need

Yeah I was looking at this one the other day and couldn't find the actual price anywhere so I ended up going with the Spigen Nano Pop. I doubt it offers much actual protection, but it should keep the console from being scuffed while docking which is all I'm really looking for. I don't know why Nintendo is so averse to an open face cradle for the Switch, they must really want you to play Operation where the stakes for touching the side is some lovely cosmetic damage to your 450 dollar game system.

I heard people saying it's $80 which honestly isn't bad for everything it comes with

I dropped the $3 for the reservation, I figure I can just get it refunded later if I get something else. I'm super into the clear game window though

Okay here is my pie in the sky bingo card item: Super Mario 64 2 (2026), an open-world adventure celebrating the 30-year anniversary of 64

hey spritey did you see theyre raising the price of the xbox and xbox games? how much of that price hike do you think is going to the people working on the games?

$60 became worth continually less year after year, and executives didn't want to take a cut to their own earnings, so they likely didn't raise wages that entire time even though the money they were paying employees became worth less. The game is worth more than $60 now regardless of the actual reason why they raised the price

wrong answer bub

did you upscale a fucking chick tract panel

I used Artificial Intelligence so I was able to circumvent paying an artist to do it
